Show Thread Enhancements - SAPR: Advanced Post Rating system (ajax)

Seba's Advanced Post Rating (SAPR) system with ajax- beta 2.

What is it?
In short: this is the wet dream of every vb board owner

In big: This is much more!
This adds a thumbs up/down post rating system: youtube style.

But wait there's more!
It not only adds a post rating system that works with and without ajax, but it also adds options to filter posts (on-the-flow with javascript) based on that rating.

That way your users will be able to browse easier trough threads by setting a filter, which collapses posts under a certain rating.
It also will prevent users of flooding you're site with 3 word posts.

AND THERE'S STILL MORE! It also adds a system of 'good posts', you can set a value of what is considered as a good post, and if a post reaches this value, the author gets +1 on his good post score.
So you get to see: this user has 500 posts and 150 good posts.

AND IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH: it's also completely configurable through the admincp.

And if you download it now you also get a very nice installation guide!!

Reminder / read this
This product is still in beta stage and it can contain bugs, backup every thing you change.

Currently the rating only works with vb 3.7, in the future 3.5 and 3.6 will also be supported, but they will not have ajax rating.

This mod works best if you use the postbit template, for postbit_legacy the filtering has few effect as collapsing still leaves a lot of the post

The good posts system still needs further development, which will be done after this beta testing

This is not a supported product, I'll fix the bugs and continue to work on it, but I'll don't answer questions, never.

Getting the same "bypass checks" error where a user can rate multiple times...

Great Hack !!!!

Can you integrate it with post thank you hack?

Each thumbs up will trigger "thank you"???

And mayb integrate with reputation system?
3+ thumbs up will add reputation? (or whatever setting will be),

Thank you for good job!

@kafi: thanks. I won't integrate it with other hacks, but as I've made it with the use of datamanagers, it can be easily done something like:

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->options['postrate_active']){
$postman =& datamanager_init('Post', $this->registry, ERRTYPE_SILENT, 'threadpost');
        $postman->set_existing($postinfo);
        $postman->set('postrating',"postrating + 1",false);
        $postman->save(); 


btw, beta 2 is coming tomorrow

cool hack, but i hate the template edits

anyway good job dude

[waza]

I tried to minimize the template edits, i could in fact make you don't have to do any template edit, but then you wouldn't have the freedom of moving and changing things of the hack.

Will this work for 3.6.x ?

[Nikke]

This has huge potential, but it isn't there yet.

For example, I can vote multiple times even though I shouldn't be permitted.

[waza]

@Nikke:
Beta 2 is here, this has some bug fixes and some nice new features

@sitfmeister2:
haven't tested it on 3.6, but I think it should work fine, well, maybe the rating won't be done by ajax.

[edenx]

excellent!

[Stoebi]

Thank you very much for this nice update

I can't increase to +2 and decrease to +1. With IE7 i get a JavaScript error. See attachment, please.


Good Posts feature problem I have. The 'Good posts system active?' is active and the value for this system is set to 2.
The user Webmaster and the user Tester rated my post, but the Good Posts counter is not increased.

I've uploaded an animated sapr.gif and the result was sapr.jpg.
